Notes for Veracity 1.0 Users
If you have repositories that were created with Veracity 1.0 (but not 1.1), they will need to be reindexed. When Veracity notices, it will tell you:
You need to 'vv reindex'.
If you want to be proactive, you can 'vv reindex --repo my_1.0_repo' before you see this message.
Known Issues
General
- Working copies that are being merged and have conflicts will not upgrade gracefully to 1.5. Avoid upgrading mid-merge. If you do have a working copy in this state when you upgrade, you'll have to revert and redo the merge.
- The web history page, when requesting history for an individual file, will show a generic error message on 1.0 repositories that need reindexing, directing you to the server log. The log reveals the "you need to reindex" message.
Tortoise
- The tortoise interface on Windows XP has a resource leak associated with updating the status icons. If explorer.exe is noticably slow, killing the veracity_cache.exe process will resolve it.
- New folders created in the root of a working copy sometimes incorrectly show the green check, unmodified icon.
- The tortoise history dialog doesn't correctly recognize 1.0 repositories that need reindexing. It will appear to be loading history indefinitely. A reindex will fix it.
